Former Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) was elected to the House in 2012; he was defeated in 2014 in a close race by Cresent Hardy (R) during a red tide. Now the two candidates are squaring off again. Horsford was the first African-American to serve as Majority Leader in the Nevada Senate and the first African-American to represent Nevada in Congress. He supports continued adherence to the Iran nuclear agreement and endorses further negotiated nuclear arms reductions with Russia.

Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL-26) is challenging incumbent Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R) in a district Hillary Clinton carried by 16 points. She immigrated to the United States as a child from Ecuador after losing her father to gun violence. She is steeped in Council issues, having taken graduate school courses on nuclear arms control treaties and non-proliferation.
